La Noche Que En Chicago Se Murio

Dad worked when he lived in Chicago
He was always a cop, always on the side of the law

One summer night, in the land of the dollar
What all of Chicago saw, let me explain to you
When Mr. Al Capone took over the city
He called his gang for the forces of the Lord

I heard my mother cry the night Chicago died
Brother, what a night God sent
Brother, what a terrible war, glory and peace

I heard my mother cry the night Chicago died
Brother, what a night God sent
That war everyone saw, I saw it

The sound in the streets was from the south of the big city
A war without quarter until it was all over
Someone was heard shouting among the people running
In the streets, more than a hundred police officers died

I heard my mother cry the night Chicago died
Brother, what a night God sent
Brother, what a terrible war, glory and peace

I heard my mother cry the night Chicago died
Brother, what a night God sent
That war everyone saw, I saw it

And then nothing sounded, only the clock could be heard
Go hard, Banda Toro!
After the door opened, my father appeared
He kissed my mother and dried her tears

The night he died, Chicago died
Brother, what a night God sent
Brother, what a terrible war, glory and peace

The night he died, Chicago died
Brother, what a night God sent
Everyone saw that war, I saw it
